I use an @reboot cronjob to fsck and mount large partitions that are
not immediately necessary upon boot.  I get an e-mail from cron if
there was an issue found during fsck'ing, and usually things just work
out fine.  These partitions are marked with 0 0 in fstab:

[weerd@bfib] $ cat /usr/local/libexec/cronscripts/afterboot
#!/bin/sh
# afterboot: fsck and mount large partitions
######################################################################

PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin

for PART in `awk '/0 0$/ {print $1}' /etc/fstab`
do
        if fsck -p ${PART} > /dev/null
        then
                mount ${PART}
        else
                echo "Errors found on ${PART}, please check"
        fi
done

Many ways to skin a cat, I suppose, but this one works fine for me...

Cheers,

Paul 'WEiRD' de Weerd
